WWII Navy vet explains what it was like to head towards Japan at 18 years old

Eighty years after the Japanese surrendered, formally ending World War II, CNN’s Stephanie Elam sat down with US Navy veteran Edgar Buffman, who served on the USS Missouri during the war. Buffman says he was 18 when he first boarded the Missouri and was never afraid going to war because “you did what had to be done.” He recalls what life was like on the “Mighty Mo,” witnessing the aftermath of a kamikaze attack, and watching as members of the Japanese Imperial Government boarded the Missouri on September 2, 1945, to take part in the surrender ceremony. #CNN #News
